A pixel-art map of València is created using real 3D city data, then repainted in a hand-picked style. The map features the entire municipal area, including the huerta and Albufera, with seamless tiling.
The author attempted to enable ONVIF streaming on a cheap Tuya IP camera by modifying its firmware. They used reverse engineering tools and Linux kernel analysis to understand the camera's configuration process, but ultimately relied on a Large Language Model (LLM) for assistance with decoding binary data and identifying specific functions. The modified firmware was successfully flashed onto ...
Public computers at 7 NYC Library locations are temporarily unavailable due to an outage, but book borrowing and returns remain possible. Renewals are currently not available during this time.

These models are suitable for ambitious technical work and can be used for various applications such as robotics evaluations, hardware engineering, and scientific research.
The author researched PHP2Shell, a vulnerability in PHP that allows attackers to exploit memory corruption bugs by leveraging stale pointers and heap grooming. The author created an in-depth technical walkthrough of the vulnerability, including how to forge a zend_array structure with a poisoned pDestructor pointer, which can be used to redirect execution and execute arbitrary commands.
The .NET 11 release brings significant improvements to C# 15, ASP.NET Core, .NET MAUI, and Windows development. It includes hundreds of runtime optimizations, new language features like union types and closed hierarchies in C#, as well as AI-powered development tools.
Palantir hires former Democratic Sen. Jon Tester to advise the company amid expected scrutiny from Democrats over its ties with the Trump administration. Tester aims to tell Palantir's "good story" and address concerns about mass surveillance on Americans.
The author is frustrated with Google's AI-powered search function, which often prioritizes automated answers over actual addresses and has become a problem for the company's business model. The rise of A.I. chatbots like ChatGPT is further eroding the need for traditional search engines like Google, threatening its very existence.
Let Over Lambda is a hardcore computer programming book that explores Lisp's advanced features, focusing on macros that write programs. The book aims to inspire and educate readers about the power of Lisp programming.
The author built an analog clock that displays daylight hours based on its home latitude and longitude, with a control box to override the time zone. The project took several months of mental space and physical effort, including designing the clock face and body, programming the microcontroller, and overcoming technical challenges.
